This Bundle Includes:

• Heart
     - The heart is the center of the body, the seat of life, will and emotion. Weighing about 10 ounces, it is about the size of your fist and has four chambers: the right atrium, left atrium and the right and left ventricles.
• Plasma
      - Plasma is the pale liquid that makes up about 55% of your blood. The other blood components are suspended in plasma, and it allows them to travel through the blood vessels and around your body!
• White Blood Cell
      - White blood cells, or Leukocytes, are your body’s white knights. If an enemy germ invades you, they ride to the rescue and fight to the death.
• Red Blood Cell
      - Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, contain the hemoglobin that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body. (Erythro means red in Greek, and cyte translates to cell.) Hemoglobin gives red blood cells their Characteristic color. When it is oxygen-rich, it appears reddish; when oxygen-poor, it is darker and bluish.
